Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

All in all we should be very careful with theories that are largely supported by an interpretation of the marginalia. Drawings an text on the last page are often pen trials, and the animal is much more likely to be a doodle than a depiction of the source of parchment.

I was under the impression that experts had established that the drawings on the last page go with the manuscript but that the writing might be marginalia entered at a later date. Do you have expert opinion to the contrary?

A signature page and a thank you note to the animal providing the parchment makes a lot of sense to me for the last page of the manuscript. It's fully credible that the author of the crazy VMS would do that.
